This may very well be the best pizza place in the entire Phoenix area. Be prepared for a long wait to get a table, but everything on the menu is excellent. Try the Pizzario Bianco wine room next door when you have to wait, they have a very eclectic selection of wines.

Since finding a good Japanese restuarant in the Scottsdale/Carefree area is not a easy task, I was more than a little excited when I saw Ippei first opening up. Even better than that, though, was that my expectations were exceeded during my first visit.
I'm not a sushi person, so I can't tell you anything about that - but everything else that I have tried has been wonderful. The prices add up quickly, just to warn you though. The appetizers in particular are oddly over-priced given the genereal affordability of everthing else. I tried one once, delicious little crab cakes which they unfortunately no longer offer, however and they just might be worth the stab at your wallet.
Aside from that, I actually had the Oriental Salad during my last visit. I usually never want to spend the money at a restaurant to buy something I could just as easily made at home - and for a lot less, but this salad was well worth it. The dressing they used was interesting and tastey and I loved the addition of the finely chopped fried wontons.
The kabobs are so far my favorite thing there. I'm a big beef eater, and I was certainly pleased by the tender and well-flavored steak used. I would also recommend the fried rice, as it has that more buttery garlic sort of taste that you aren't going to find at a Chinese restaurant.
If I would have to complain about anything other than the price I would probably warn you that the accoustics in the restaurant are such that it gets rather noisy without even that many people in there yet. Also, so far there's been at least one error in my order, but it doesn't bother me much because they were quick to fix it.
Just so we don't leave off on a bad not, because this is certainly one I would highly recommend, I shall also comment on the nice atmosphere (noise aside). I'm not typically a fan of modern decor, but they pull it off quite well - giving it a comfortable yet intriguing feel.
Pros: great tasting, ambience, speed of service, menu choices
Cons: price, noise level

Best steaks I've ever eaten. Worth the price. I've been to one in San Fran, Hawaii, Phoenix and all of them were good. Everything is ala cart so it can be expensive but it's worth it.
Pros: Best steaks
Cons: none

The best! I love the chili plates, adovada ribs and roast pork platters. Not to mention the hot as hell salsas -- all great excuses to keep the intoxicating libations flowing to extinguish the flames. Dang, I wish we had New Mexican food in LA. I really miss this place and try and make it each time I'm back in town (or in New York) to visit.
To bravef, stick to your Seatlle Moose joint for your "Mexican" food. Sure, there are places like that in Phoenix, too. You're probably looking for some white-table cloth place like Barrio Cafe that will bring you table-side guacamole and margaritas in cocktail glasses or, the other New Mexican place in town, Richardsons, for its mood lighting. btw, margaritas tend to be on the sweet side, in general. Would you really be surprised to find that a raspberry margarita or prickly pear margarita is a sweet beverage? Anyway, if you've got fire in your belly for quality New Mexican, then ignore bravef -- because Los Dos is the place!
Pros: HOT HOT HOT, radical ambiance in South PHX location, friendly management and service
Cons: The wait (sometimes)

Durant’s is, by far, my absolute favorite Steakhouse in all of Phoenix. With its red-lined interior and tuxedoed servers, Durant’s is a throwback to an earlier time. The atmosphere is causally elegant, and the food is stellar. Try the prime-rib, you won’t regret it! Makes for a perfect date night or just when you want something really special. Don’t miss it!!!

Durant's is truly not to be missed. Of course, you may wait a ten or twenty minutes for a seat, but if you are a person with a little class and have realistic expectations what comes with a visit to a highly popular restaurant, you'll definitely enjoy yourself. Do not miss this under any circumstances...but if you are a person who thinks that 20-30 dollars is too much for a plate of food, or if you think that for that price you should be treated like a visiting dignitary, then just save yourself the trouble and go to Olive Garden. Durant's is an institution and the food is beyond excellent, and the ambiance unsurpassed if you like the kitsch of a 1950's supper club, which I do. It's always a special night when you go to Durant's.
Pros: the martinis are fabulous...the steaks are even better.
Cons: none!
